Playa Los Muertos

Be careful with the so called 1 hour tour because is a scam, is not a tour it is a sales tour where they try to sell you a timeshare deal, so if you sign to go to that tour and don't show up they will charge you for it, like 2,000 dollars, and if you go they will keep you at a resort for 5 hours trying to sell you the package which is $535,000 pesos or 27,000 dollars, so be very careful don't accept the tour because they are great sellers and you are going to get scammed and is all the vidanta hotel group so other hotels are included this happened today 15,feb,2017 and the workers told me how they operate but they are not involved with the advisers or sellers, Im very mad about it but there is nothing I can do but warn other people.

Other options??? YES! Get in a $5 Uber and head to...

Important note though the surf is high here and the water gets deep very quickly...and there are some serious riptides at the beach...you often need to fight the surf to get into sellable waters...the ocean here is definitely not for...
